The Old and the New Horse.

Prairie Farmer.
The hardy $50 to 500 horse Of the
early settler was generally better suited
to the nsed Of frontier use and usage
than the well-fsd draft horses OF the
present thrifty farmer. The early settler
wanted horse that could adapt himself
to long rides or drives, could 60 through
sloushs without injury, a. well as to
do the routine work Of grain farm and
stand the poor shelter of the pioneer pole
and straw stable. The thrifty farmer Of
to-day has need Of at least one team that
can haul large loads and pillow deep fur
rows; q team that does not need to go
on the gallop or stand in pocrly-oon-
structed stables. Good farming now
does not require that great distances be
travelled. The more fertile farms are
made, the less need there is for activity,
a. compared with power, in horses of all
work. And after all, one of the greatest
profits to the farmer comes from the
large colts he is able to sell from team
of draft mares. Bred to good horses,
the young colts sell for nice prices at all
times, for use in cities as dray horses.

to the attention of suffering womanhood the
great value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound as a remedy for the dis
eases of women. Such an one is the wife of
General Barringer of Winston, N. O., and
We quote from the Generals letter as fol-
lows: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Please allow
me to add my testimony to the most excel
lent medicinal qualities of your Vegetable
Compound. Mrs. Barringer was treated for
several years for what the physician called
Leucorrhea and Prolapsus Uteri combined.
I sent her to Richmond, Va, where she re-
manned for six months under the treatment
Of an eminent Physician without any per-
manent benefit. She was induced to try
your medicine and after reasonable time
commenced to improve and is now able to
attend to her business and considers herself
fully relieved" General Barringer is the
proprietor of the American Hotel, Winston,
